**Pakistan Devastated by Powerful Earthquake** **Karachi, Pakistan** - An earthquake of magnitude 6.5 struck the city in Pakistan's Khyber region on Wednesday, October 6, 2021. The temblor has resulted in the tragic loss of at least 19 lives, with over 200 injured. Rescue efforts are ongoing to search for survivors amid the rubble.
